About Us

On Center Ridge Road in Westlake, Ohio, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has built something that outlasts any single generation: a place where people actually show up for each other. Members here aren't just paying dues into an organization. They're joining a network of neighbors who volunteer at food drives, sponsor youth scholarships, support veterans, and gather around a table after a long week.

The BPOE, founded nationally in 1868, carries one of the oldest charitable missions in American civic life. This lodge carries that forward with local energy, hosting events that raise money for community causes and opening its doors to members who want more than a transaction from their social life. The five-star rating from visitors isn't a surprise to anyone who has walked through the front door.

If you've ever wanted to belong to something with real roots and real purpose, this is the place. Membership here means your community gets stronger every time you show up.

What We Offer

The Westlake Elks Lodge offers members a full calendar of events, from Friday night dinners and holiday gatherings to charitable fundraisers that directly benefit local families and veterans in the greater Cleveland area. The lodge hall is available for member events, and the social atmosphere is exactly what you'd hope for from a place with a perfect five-star reputation.

Beyond the social side, the lodge runs active programs in youth scholarships, drug awareness education, and veterans' assistance. Members can get involved at whatever level fits their life, whether that means volunteering at a community event or simply attending a monthly meeting and enjoying good company.

The Elks also offer a sense of continuity that's rare. When you join, you're connecting to a 150-year legacy of Americans who believed that looking out for your neighbor is worth organizing around. That's not a slogan here. It's the agenda.

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
